Satnav SatNav scale

Kremmen · 4th April 2007, 13:02

Just an observation......

Just been changing a few setup bits & bobs in the carpark at work and I got fiddling with the SatNav.

My home is 21 miles away, via road, but in 6 mile scale I can see my home icon (and the location is correct).

So even giving a bit of leeway, in 6 mile scale I can see for 18 miles !

I have noticed this 'feature' on other scales as well.

It's 6miles per inch (or something like that..) not 6miles edge to edge on the screen... I think...!

See, now if I had read the manual properly I would have known that

There had to be an answer.

just to confirm my suspicions....

In the bottom left corner of the screen - there is a line summat like [----] next to which is the scale reading... the line is about 1" long indicating 6mls per inch

Talking about the scale and the Sat Nav in general, soes anyone know what the circle around the position arrow is for?

I think it just makes it easier to see quickly
